"Thank you for your trust and support. It is an honour as well as a great responsibility to be elected to such a prestigious position that has been held in the past by important historical figures like Voldemar Lender and Jaan Poska.
I noticed that the year of my election happens to be somewhat symbolic - last year we celebrated the centenary of the Estonian Republic whereas this year we celebrate the Estonian Language Year and the 150th anniversary of the first nationwide Song Festival. The Estonian language is a symbol of our country. The Estonian language is the core element of Estonian identity and the foundation of Estonian culture. Everyone living in Estonia should understand the importance of the Estonian language and its cultural context. However, we should acknowledge that Russians and other ethnic nationalities living beside us value their language and culture. Cultures can be complementary provided that there is no conflict between them and that the different ethnic nationalities enjoy freedom of expression and support each other.
Cooperation fosters development, including political development. 115 years ago Estonians assumed public authority in the City of Tallinn for the first time. The Estonian and Russian factions supported one another to take control away from Germans and gain the necessary majority for voting on important issues. Tallinn has always played a special role in Estonian history, including in promoting and shaping the country's independence. As the Mayor of the city which will soon celebrate its 800th anniversary I aim to serve and work for all its citizens regardless of my native language or theirs.
Urban governance requires a clear vision and availability of support structures. We need to have a holistic view of the city's present situation and its future which means that to draw a proper roadmap we need to be able to envision what the city should look like in 10, 20 or even 50 years. That vision should integrate all areas of urban life - urban planning combined with a system of municipal services. A good example here is education which connects to all other areas ranging from urban planning and social welfare to morning traffic jams. Vision means the ability to see the connections between the various elements of urban management. It also means the ability to design regular routines so as to allow harmonious development of the city and maximise the accessibility and streamline municipal services.
Vision needs to be supported by structure whereas vision and structure should evolve hand in hand. If you would ask me whether municipal structures require changing and whether I see those changes coming, I would say 'yes'. But such changes will not be based on an Excel spreadsheet and we will not cut back the number of agencies or officials to achieve mere numerical targets. We need substantive changes aimed at improving the quality of services provided to our citizens.
Mihhail Kõlvart has been the Chairman of the City Council since autumn 2017 and in 2011-2017 he served as Deputy Mayor of Tallinn coordinating the areas of education, culture, sports, youth work and integration. Mihhail Kõlvart is a Member of the Executive Board of the Estonian Olympic Committee.
Mihhail Kõlvart will assume the office of Mayor as of tomorrow.
The previous Mayor of Tallinn Taavi Aas took up office as a Member of Parliament.

Battlecast Shutting Down on Sept 1st
July 2, 2017 July 2, 2017 by Michael McNutt
If you haven't fired up your Battlecast app in a while you may want to take the time to do so soon. When you do, you'll receive a message notifying you that the digital game will end on September 1, 2017. That's when Activision will pull the plug on their Battlecast servers effectively ending the digital version of the game. It sounds like this won't just end the ability to play online but that it will actually prevent the game from working so you won't even have the ability to play your single player campaign matches either. We'll see, but that might be the first game I've owned digitally that has become completely useless after a server shut down. Most games allow you to continue the single player game even if you can't download the game anymore.
If you do still have interest in the game or would like to complete your digital card collection, then you're in luck. All battle packs and booster packs in the game are now free. I must have opened 300 packs and I'm still 4 cards short. Another 100 packs should do it.
Overall I think it's a shame that this game is coming to an end. I thought it was a good fun card battling game. The card designs were great, the art was fantastic and I thought it had a good balance of gameplay between the different elemental types. It did have a couple flaws but I didn't think it wasn't anything they couldn't fix in an update or expansion add on. But now at the end, I can see that it was just a very poorly run experiment. The first problem the game had was that you couldn't easily play it with only the cards. There were no instructions and there were some randomness and tracking issues that would come as a result of trying to play it physically. Next, the game was never really supported. We had a slight expansion with some cards in cereal boxes. However, the cards in the boxes weren't even complete or in some cases correct. Values were not known at the time of printing and a couple of the cards even changed their ability after scanning them into the game. Speaking of scanning cards. As an iPad player I haven't been able to scan cards into the game for months. On apple devices the game was tightly integrated with Game Center. Game Center was eventually greatly downgraded on apple devices and after that happened, I was never able to scan in cards or play online. The game tells me I need to be connected to Game Center even though I am, and every other game I use with Game Center works just fine. Maybe that's just my problem I don't know. Lastly if you read that message about the servers shutting down, it will tell you that you can get more information at Skylanders.com/Battlecast and even download instructions to play the game with only the physical trading cards. However, if you go there, as of right now, it says nothing about the servers shutting down and there are still NO instructions on how to play the game with physical cards. There is still a link to download the app and there is even an asterisk and a note about buying the physical cards that states that the physical cards are NOT required for playing the game. The reality is now that they ARE required for playing the game if you want to play the game after September 1st. It just another example of how this game was poorly supported.
I hope everyone did get some enjoyment of the game, I know we did. And if you haven't tried it, then now is the time to go download it, open a bunch of free packs, and build some cool decks. Go play the single player campaign against the AI. It may not be quite as fun as challenging someone online, but it's still a good bit of fun. Just know that with Battlecast Shutting Down on September 1st, you don't have long to try out the game.

Register of Mines and Minerals : Santa Barbara County by Aubury, Lewis E.: State Mining Bureau - Weller Book Works, A.B.A.A.
We're sorry; this specific copy is no longer available. Here are our closest matches for Register of Mines and Minerals : Santa Barbara County.


The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a hit back in 2011, but it's taken forever to get going on the sequels, which are based on the book series. Now it's finally here, but with a new director (Fede Alvarez, who directed Don't Breathe) and new lead (The Crown's Claire Foy) taking over for David Fincher and Rooney Mara (who was Oscar nominated for her role in the last one). This is meant to be a reboot of the entire series, but who knows how it'll turn out. I thought the success of the first one was largely due to Fincher's direction and Mara's performance specifically, so losing both of those things....I don't know. It comes out November 9th.

Q: Best options for connecting to IPSec tunnel, outside of firewall? A company I am working with is providing an IPSec VPN tunnel to their network for access to some of their systems.
To my understanding, IPSec tunnels are typically configured through firewalls. The firewalls I have aren't really capable of enough throughput/bandwidth. It's like 25 Mbps over IPSec.
What options exist?

*

*Self-hosted server that is separate from the firewalls? Could I use CentOS or Ubuntu to manage IPSec behind the firewall?

*Cloud service. Are there any good Cloud Services for setting up an IPSec Tunnel and then interfacing with that tunnel? I was looking at CloudFlare but they don't seem to have what I need.

*Any other options?

A: IPsec tunnels aren't firewall-specific in any way; they are used just like any other VPN tunnel, more or less. You can use them from firewalls just like you can use them from routers or end hosts, it depends more on the exact purpose of the tunnel than the specific protocol.
Linux has several implementations of IKE (the usual IPsec handshake protocol) – strongSwan and LibreSwan are the two that are most up-to-date.
(On the other hand, 'racoon' aka ipsec-tools is ancient. Don't use it regardless of how many tutorials suggest it.)
OpenBSD has 'iked' for IKEv2 and 'isakmpd' for IKEv1. Windows can connect to IKEv2 VPNs configured for "client" use (not site-to-site tunnels), and it has leftover IKEv1 support somewhere else. Many enterprise (-ish) routers also have IPsec support.

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14
7 months ago by Brady Grove
Follow Brady
We have now completed three months of the 2019 MLB campaign, and find ourselves reanalyzing our options on July 1st with baseball fresh off of its London debut. When I think of overbearing summer heat, I picture it coming in July, right as Jaws is making his way into Amity. With the arrival of July comes Independence Day festivities, the MLB All-Star break, and the arrival of a wide array of block-busting motion pictures. Even with the sunny disposition, there has been plenty of negative news around baseball whether it be Frankie Montas's untimely suspension, Giancarlo Stanton immediately returning to the IL until August, or Jordan Hicks needing Tommy John Surgery. Allow the unfortunate news to light a fire: July is a time for comebacks and refreshing oneself. We're about to see a lot of guys turn the tables, and a lot of teams decide to mix things up with their rosters and lineups. Three months have passed, but there are still three to go, so take a deep breath.
As always, the second base and shortstop positions are notoriously lacking in waiver wire depth and are therefore quite fickle to navigate. Each week of the season, we are going to be taking a look at a slew middle infielders who are worthy of acquisition (or strong consideration at the very least) and are owned in less than 50% of Yahoo Leagues. Staying on top of the injury, roster, and statistical trends regarding the middle infield positions will ensure that your team has robust year-long depth and is ready if a crisis were to arise.
With that, let's have at it and take a look at a fresh batch of second base and shortstop waiver-wire targets for Week 14.
Pickups for Most Leagues
Chris Taylor (2B/SS/OF, LAD)
46% Owned
Chris Taylor has been an effective fixture in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup for a few years now, but after an ugly start to the 2019 season, he has strung together two-straight months of absolute offensive devastation. "CT3" Hit three home runs, stole two bases, and produced a .904 OPS through 70 AB in May, and actually accelerated across 89 AB this month with four homers, three steals, and a slash of .315/.370/.573. That brings his dinger-tally to eight on the year, while he has converted on all six of his attempts at base thievery in 229 AB for the impressive Dodger squad.
Taylor typically struggles with strikeouts, and this year has been no exception even in the best of times, as demonstrated by his strikeout rate of 30.7% for this month. He has helped to balance the scales by improving his walk rate this month to 8.9%, and far more importantly, has been applying 50.8% hard contact and just 11.5% soft contact to a GB/FB ratio of 0.95 (29.3% line drives). This quality of contact on batted balls along with a sprinting speed of 28.8 feet per second have allowed Taylor to sustain BABIP of .367 and .429 over the past two months while simultaneously posting ISO figures of .257 and .258. Even with a sit every other day or two, there is tremendous value in just being a part of a batting order as top-tier as the Dodgers. With Chris Taylor's defensive versatility allowing him ample time on the field and his bat burning like the Olympic flame, he is a fantastic addition if you are seeking across-the-board contributions.
Keston Hiura (2B, MIL)
When top-rated prospect Keston Hiura was sent back down to Triple-A San Antonio in anticipation of a returning Travis Shaw, the common sentiment was that he would be back for the contending Brewers, and that it probably wouldn't take long. That projection has come to fruition, as Hiura's awe-inspiring Triple-A line of 19 home runs, seven stolen bases, and .329/.407/.681 slash has made an all too compelling case over the slumping Shaw. Now he is getting back to work at the MLB level for a heavy-slugging Milwaukee squad, where he has already done an encouraging level of damage displayed by five homers, one steal, and a slash of .271/.329/.500 in 70 AB.
Though there has been plenty of surrounding buzz, the former UC Irvine infielder is a bargain while still so widely available. His lack of experience has shown through in his lackluster plate discipline so far, but he has continued to rake with the help of a 41.3% hard contact rate and 17.4% soft contact rate applied to 63% combined line drives and fly balls. This inspires confidence that he can sustain his .341 BABIP, while his exit velocity (92.2 MPH) and average launch angle (15.4-degrees) are primed to reach a lot of lucky fans in power-friendly Miller Park. It's always exciting to buy in to what a prospect like Keston Hiura could potentially be, and he's giving us a pretty great glimpse with the ferocity with which he is sending pitches back.
Danny Santana (1B/2B/OF, TEX)
We've done plenty of reflecting on Danny Santana over the past few weeks, and it remains true that there is plenty of reason for skepticism: at 28 years old he has never come close to hitting for power like this (or hitting this well at all as a matter of fact) in his major league career, and the offensive might of the Texas Rangers paired with their depth in certain areas of the field have led to some limitations in playing time. This hasn't prevented Santana from producing bountiful rewards, as he has clubbed for five home runs and a .313/.333/.813 slash over just the past 32 AB while also nabbing two bags on the base-paths.
He doesn't take walks well, but he has at least managed to pull his strikeout rate down a whopping amount from 33.8% in May to just 21.3% in June. Given his M.O. prior to 2019, his .229 ISO for the year (.307 for the month) almost looks like some sort of clerical error, but the weight behind it is fully supported. Santana has been hitting for 45% hard contact and just 15% soft contact this month, netting a 90.6 MPH exit velocity which has been applied to a 0.96 GB/FB ratio on batted balls (25% line drives, 38.3% fly balls). Danny Santana has yet to have a bad month of work at the plate this season, and while his power hitting has come a bit out of left field (figuratively), it is a much-welcomed addition to the base-running that he provides with a sprinting speed of 28.2 feet per second. With such a strong foundation of high-quality contact being applied to pitches, it would be silly to fearfully dump your holdings.
Kevin Newman (2B/SS, PIT)
Former Arizona Wildcat Kevin Newman has been quite the mid-season gem in the Pittsburgh Pirates middle infield. Over the past two weeks the 25-year old rookie has hit three bombs, stolen one base, and hit for a slash of .391/.429/.696 in 46 AB, giving him a cumulative five home runs, five stolen bases (in seven attempts), and an .871 OPS in 195 AB. Despite his success across several statistical categories, there are a few holes in the picture being presented. First, Newman has walked at just a 6.6% clip so far this season with a declining rate of 5.9% this month. Also, even in his masterful work this month he has been hitting for an underwhelming 84.7 MPH exit velocity, 29% hard contact rate, and 24% soft contact rate on a dirt-heavy 2.20 GB/FB ratio.
This shouldn't freeze your feet though, there is plenty of reason to want to be a part of Kevin Newman's run even if you fully believe that the power figures will subside. Even with his high rate of grounders, he is still hitting line drives at a respectable 19.2% clip, while he has continued to maximize his chances in each plate appearance by bringing his strikeout rate from 25% in April to 10.1% in June. Newman is able to use his sprinting speed of 28.3 feet per second as a weapon, routinely sustaining high BABIP figures such as his .337 June mark as he sprays the gaps of the shallow outfield. Though there may be a slight luck factor connected to his slugging percentage at the moment, Kevin Newman has the wheels to beat out throws to first and rob his way into scoring position in the process. Take advantage of his torrid stretch of recent days and keep a close eye on him proceeding forward.
For the Sneaky and Savvy
Eric Sogard (2B/SS, TOR)
Unbelievably, Eric Sogard has continued to rake in 2019, and so the Toronto Blue Jays have continued to call on him in the middle infield despite a talented slew of young options to deploy around the field. Sogard has somehow managed to heat up and continue to produce power/speed volume over the past two weeks, hitting three home runs, stealing two bases, and raking in a .378/.442/.600 slash across 45 AB. He has remained consistent and superb in several key statistical areas from month to month, namely his 13.5% strikeout rate, 8.3% walk rate, 34.7% hard contact rate, and meager 9.3% soft contact rate. With a 0.76 GB/FB ratio and 20.5-degree launch angle, Sogard has used high-quality contact to make up for lack of raw power en route to hitting for extra bases. Though a call-up of Bo Bichette down the line might disrupt his playing time, Eric Sogard is an asset to take advantage of until any such disruption occurs with his bat still smoking.
J.P. Crawford (3B/SS, SEA)
J.P. Crawford has long been considered to be a phenomenally talented prospect who could bring a well-rounded bat and fielding skill to the infield. Currently 123 AB into the 2019 campaign for the Seattle Mariners, and his arsenal is finally culminating into an exciting major league product. Just over the last two weeks (50 AB) Crawford has hit a home run, stolen a base, and hit for a dialed-in slash of .360/.421/.560. He strikes out more than would be ideal at 23.2%, his natural power definitely has a hard cap, and he doesn't posses a game-changing level of speed despite his propensity to try the base-paths. However, he has remained disciplined at the plate throughout the year with a 10.1% walk rate, and even though his batted ball figures have been modest with 33.7% hard contact and 17.4% soft contact, his 31.5% line drive rate will go a long way towards finding a steady gap in the outfield. As a guy that can give you a little bit of everything, it means a lot that J.P. Crawford has been strumming to a steady rhythm.
Jason Kipnis (2B/OF, CLE)
Over the first two months of the season, Jason Kipnis actually looked well on his way to ending his ninth season in Cleveland with worse offensive results than he did in the previous two seasons. He gradually started to get his feel back as the 2019 campaign trudged on, and now the former All-Star and fellow University of Kentucky alumni has been scorching at the plate over the last two weeks (43 AB) with three knocks to the bleachers and a slash of .372/.429/.651. It's easy to see where the difference has come for Kipnis: he has brought his June strikeout rate down to just 13.8% despite a dip in his walk rate, he is hitting for a season-best hard contact rate of 36%, a stellar soft contact rate of 14.7%, and though his GB/FB ratio went up to 1.15, his line drive rate went from 8.3% in April to 21.6% this month. By striking out scarcely and allowing himself plenty of opportunity, this combination is starting to net a potent volume of extra-base hits and trips to first base. Though he isn't too fast, he has stolen four bases in five tries this season as well, once again making Jason Kipnis the complete package to fill the second base slot for those in need.
Scooter Gennett has finally returned to the Cincinnati Reds lineup from the 60-day IL, but with a 64% ownership rate, he is hard to get your hands on at this point. Reds fans and fantasy baseball managers alike will be excited to see the dynamic hitter back on the field, and although he is projected to be a big part of any potential postseason hopes for Cincinnati, it is important to hamper immediate expectations due to rust and contention for everyday AB.
Carter Kieboom definitely showed that he has a long way to go at the major league plate with his struggles through the first 39 AB he took for the Washington Nationals, but that's okay, because he continues to terrorize opposing pitchers at Triple-A Fresno. His 13 home runs, three steals, and 1.052 OPS have prompted owners in 4% of leagues to continue to hold on to him for the time being. At the moment, with the circumstances it would take to make that move worthwhile, there may be better prospects to buy stock in.
Speaking of which, top-rated prospect Bo Bichette is owned in just 9% of leagues. Even though he is fresh off of a hand injury and Toronto infielders Freddy Galvis, Eric Sogard, and Cavan Biggio continue to thrive, he is a much more likely candidate to see meaningful plate appearances by season's end. It could happen soon too, because the 21-year old shortstop has been on fire in Triple-A Buffalo where he has three homers, nine steals, and a .931 OPS in just 109 AB.

Hawks GM Travis Schlenk comments on Evan Turner, Kent Bazemore trade with Blazers
Ashish Mathur
The Atlanta Hawks acquired Evan Turner from the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday in exchange for Kent Bazemore.
Hawks general manager and head of basketball operations Travis Schlenk released a statement on the trade, thanking Bazemore for his contributions in Atlanta and praising Turner's versatility on the court.
"We are happy to add Evan to our team, a veteran who we believe can help our club," Schlenk said. "The versatility he has shown throughout his career will be valuable for us this season.
"We are appreciative of Kent's contributions to the Hawks organization and to the greater Atlanta community over the last five years. We wish him and his family all the best in Portland."
Evan Turner has one year left on his contract. He'll make $18,606,557 next season. It sounds like the Hawks are planning to keep the veteran swingman.
Turner averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists this past season with the Blazers. He shot 46.0 percent from the field, 21.2 percent from beyond the arc and 70.8 percent from the free-throw line. Turner, who was the second overall pick in the 2010 Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, has career averages of 9.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
The Hawks selected Duke small forward Cam Reddish in the 2019 NBA Draft. Moving Bazemore frees up more minutes for Reddish. Turner usually plays a point-forward role.

Financial Policies Continue to be Launched to Support the Resumption of Production of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises
浏览数量: 83 作者: 周芬棉 发布时间: 2020-03-20 来源: 法制日报
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the financial sector has continued to introduce policy measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises in difficulty and to fight against the resumption of work and resumption of production.
The People's Bank of China has invested 800 billion yuan in special reloans, and the effect is gradually showing; the CBRC will take epidemic prevention and control and corporate development as the most important work and become the main force of financial support; the Banking Association actively takes action, policy banks large and medium-sized banks give full play to their advantages Actively help difficult companies to get out of their difficulties; the bond market continues to expand, becoming the second largest source of corporate financing in addition to loans.
Significant effects of special reloan policies
The central bank set up a special RMB 300 billion re-loan on January 31 this year to play an active role in supporting epidemic prevention and control. Sun Guofeng, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People's Bank of China, said that as of March 13, the People's Bank of China had issued a special reloan of 184 billion yuan.
Judging from the results, the key enterprises on the list from January 25 to March 10 produced 1.6 billion masks, 87.79 million pieces of protective clothing, 4.21 million goggles, 10.29 million copies of virus detection reagents, and 4,143 negative-pressure ambulances. . Special reloans also provide financial support for some key projects. At present, the tension of medical supplies has been significantly relieved, the supply of living materials is sufficient, and the special refinancing policy has achieved significant results.
According to the reporter's understanding, the central bank subsequently added another 500 billion yuan in special reloans and rediscounts.
Sun Guofeng said that the 300 billion yuan special reloan was directly used to support epidemic prevention and supply, and was used to save first aid. The 500 billion yuan re-loaning and re-discounting policy has reduced the interest rate of small re-loans for agricultural and agricultural support. The focus is on supporting the resumption of production and resumption of production, poverty alleviation, spring ploughing, livestock breeding, and foreign trade. As of March 13, local corporate banks have issued a total of 107.5 billion yuan in preferential interest loans.
On March 13, the central bank released 550 billion yuan of targeted long-term funds, of which 400 billion yuan of long-term funds were released for banks that met the criteria for inclusive financial directional reduction standards, and one additional targeted reduction was made for eligible joint-stock commercial banks. Release of 150 billion yuan of long-term funds. This move directly supports the real economy.
Provide credit support over 1.4 trillion
According to the relevant person in charge of the CBRC, since the CBRC issued a notice on January 26, as of now, 9 documents have been issued separately or jointly with other departments. The most recent one was jointly issued with the five departments including the People's Bank of China on March 1 Notice of temporary extension of repayment of principal and interest on corporate loans.
Ye Yanfei, first-level inspector of the Policy Research Bureau of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, said that the Banking Regulatory Commission has been doing these policies recently: strengthen supervision and supervision to ensure that qualified small and micro enterprises and farmers will not delay resumption of work or resume production due to insufficient financial services. Prepare for farming; guide banks to perform list-based management of enterprises that need to defer repayment and interest payment arrangements; strengthen tracking and monitoring, and give guidance for poor implementation; promote mutual reference by banks, and better support enterprises to resume work and resume production and spring farming.
According to statistics, the credit support provided by banking financial institutions to fight the epidemic has exceeded 1.4 trillion. From January to February, the credit line increased by about 130 billion yuan year-on-year.
Ye Yanfei said that in the next step, the China Banking Regulatory Commission will focus on supporting private enterprises, small and micro enterprises that have been affected and affected by the epidemic, especially in transportation, wholesale and retail, cultural entertainment, accommodation and catering industries.
Second is to better support the resumption of production and resumption of production, especially to encourage banking institutions to increase liquidity loans; strengthen the support of industrial chain coordination, and increase support for core enterprises in the industrial chain. At the same time, around the core enterprises to better support upstream and downstream SMEs, and form support for the entire industry chain ecology.
In addition, increase support for major projects. Major projects often involve many industries such as civil construction, installation, equipment, and instrument procurement, which can drive the entire industry; according to the actual situation, better support new consumption and consumer recovery through consumer credit.
Opening special channels for epidemic prevention
Zhan Dongsheng, deputy governor of the Agricultural Bank of China, said that the Agricultural Bank of China has adopted various measures to support epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of production and business.
Reduce the approval process, waive related fees, deferred repayment of principal and interest, reduce loan interest rates, and secure financing needs.
For the affected by the epidemic situation, the principal and interest cannot be repaid for the time being, the overdue payment, the penalty interest collection, the risk classification, the customer classification level is not lowered, and the bad credit is not counted. At present, a total of 130 million yuan of loans for 252 small and micro enterprises have been extended, 489 million of micro and small enterprises have adjusted their repayment plans for loans of 870 million yuan, and 6.29 billion yuan of loans for 933 small and micro enterprises have been renewed.
Separate loan schemes, fully matching and guaranteeing credit scale. Optimize credit policies, decentralize approval authority, and improve approval efficiency. Clients are required to conduct a survey once and complete the supplementary information once, and the small and micro enterprises on the national list ensure that they are settled within one to two days. At the same time, we will implement interest rate reduction, fee reduction, and profit sharing policies, and strive to reduce the financing cost of inclusive small and micro enterprises across the bank by more than 0.5 percentage point this year.
As a policy bank, the Agricultural Development Bank also makes a difference. Lin Li, deputy governor of the Agricultural Development Bank, said that the Agricultural Development Bank strives to play a good role in policy finance. As of March 14, a total of 1649 epidemic prevention enterprises were supported with emergency loans of 53.5 billion yuan; 2650 enterprises resumed work and production with loans of 137 billion yuan, of which 78% were small, medium and micro enterprises.
Take a number of measures to implement the special reloan policy of the People's Bank of China. Lin Li said that the Agricultural Development Bank of China opened the emergency channel for epidemic prevention as soon as the epidemic occurred. We will give prominence to key enterprises and regions in epidemic prevention, and on March 12, we will take the lead in completing the first 15 billion yuan of special re-loan loans issued by the People's Bank of China. So far, 16.4 billion yuan of special loans have been issued to 357 epidemic prevention enterprises.
Issuance of 236 epidemic prevention and control bonds
After the outbreak, the China Banking Association issued 15 measures in a timely manner, and proposed to provide high-quality, efficient and efficient financial services to comprehensively help prevent and control the outbreak. This includes proposing banks to set up corresponding leadership agencies led by bank leaders to coordinate epidemic prevention and control work; to formulate emergency plans; to issue emergency loans or special loans to areas with severe epidemics, to grant special interest rates, and to reduce or reduce related formalities.
Encourage medical personnel, government workers who have participated in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and those who have temporarily lost their income source due to the epidemic. If personal loans or credit card overdrafts are overdue, the repayment period shall be reasonably postponed. List; open green channels, provide emergency financial services such as emergency cash withdrawal, fund transfer, and provide on-site financial services when necessary.
Advise banks to donate money to charitable organizations in severely affected areas such as Wuhan. According to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission's disclosure on February 27, the total donations and contributions of bank insurance institutions exceeded 2.5 billion yuan.
In addition, actively play the financing function of bonds. According to the March 11 announcement by the Central Bank and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, in January 2020, China's bond market custody balance reached 100.4 trillion yuan, and its products covered government bonds, local bonds, financial bonds, corporate credit bonds, interbank certificates of deposit, and panda bonds.
In 2019, the net financing of corporate sector bonds accounted for nearly 13% of the total social financing scale, becoming the second largest channel for entities to obtain funds other than loans.
Since the outbreak, the People's Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission have actively adopted a number of measures to support the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development. These include: establishing a "green channel" for bond issuance, extending the validity period of bond issuance quotas, and rationally adjusting the time limit for information disclosure. Increase the issuance and exemption of the issuance, registration, trading, and custody fees of institutions affected by the epidemic.
As of March 10, 2020, a total of 236 epidemic prevention and control bonds and 209.5 billion yuan have been issued for procurement and production of protection and medical supplies, construction of epidemic prevention infrastructure and hospitals, livelihood security, and price stability.

Grace Park Seniors Living Well - Stroudsburg, PA has yet not published prices.
8 months, love it so far.
Concerned son, managing mom's affairs.
We've been at Grace Park for 8 months now. We chose GP after visiting 6 other facilities in the areas. Staff if very involved. Medical, administrative, PT, activities. All very genuine. Any residence issue we have brought up has been dealt with quickly without issue. The food is good and the table wait staff very friendly. Staff checks in on Mom every couple of hours and encourages her to participate in events. The communications between care manager, billing, and the family is seamless. Very pleased with that. There are trips out of the facility to shop, dine, and even gamble if you choose. The facility is very well decorated; clean, bright rooms, accessible furniture in common areas. Cost is about the market average for the area but you are getting more for your money. We are very pleased with Grace thus far. Only drawback, this is a for-profit facility, so it becomes an issue if resources dwindle to rely on Medicaid.
Loved everything about this facility, including the smell☺. [Removed] was the most helpful of all the contacts that we met with.


Autodesk reveals that Volvo Car Corporation used Autodesk design and visualisation software to design the Concept You car. The fully functional concept model was unveiled to great critical acclaim at the Frankfurt Motor Show last autumn, said Autodesk today, Feb. 8.
Using Autodesk Alias software, the concept modelling team was able to quickly create digital prototypes from the designer's initial sketches. This enabled the team to quickly hone and test the design on screen, helping to save time and maintain the original design integrity behind the concept.
As a result, designers were able to get to the best option with the technical surfacing and visualisation of the car as quickly as possible without having to start from scratch with every iteration, said Autodesk.
As part of the design workflow, Volvo also used Autodesk Showcase software for advanced visualisation of its ideas. This enabled the concept to be quickly communicated to the design management team and board so that they could easily understand what was being created.
Despite the punishing time-frame, Autodesk says, Volvo's new concept was ready in time to create a real talking point at the show.
A long-term user of Autodesk software, Volvo has recently become a Platinum Support customer which gives it direct access to Autodesk experts, promoting a two-way dialogue to help influence future development of Alias and other products.
Autodesk, Inc. is a leading company in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software.
In the picture above: Volvo's Concept You car, designed with the help of Autodesk software.

How I backed up and deployed a trailer rig by myself
by Pam LeBlanc | Feb 27, 2019 | Blog
I'm proud to say I backed this trailer rig up and deployed the tent singlehandedly. Pam LeBlanc photo
I did it! And yes, I'm bragging!
Yesterday, I backed my Woolly Bear trailer down a long, narrow driveway and set up camp entirely on my own.
A friend had alerted me through social media that I might bump into a woman named Marilyn Harlow of Oregon, who is traveling the country with a similar rig, when I got to Village Creek State Park near Beaumont.
I spotted her as soon as I arrived.
"It's my sister," she hollered, even though we'd never met and she had no idea I was coming. She explained, as she busily uncoupled her trailer from her truck, that all outdoors-loving women were bound by Mother Nature.
Marilyn, 70, has been traveling the country in her car-top tent and Teardrop trailer since October 2017. Pam LeBlanc photo
I told her I didn't know what the hell I was doing when it came to backing up a trailer, and to please not laugh as I tried. My first night out, I explained, a guy in the neighboring slot took the wheel and did it for me. I was new at this.
Instead of laughing, Marilyn, who just turned 70 years old this week, offered me some solid advice about backing up a rig, then let me alone to try it myself.
It took 17 tries, but I did it. I backed that sucker in just perfectly, deployed the trailer-top tent and crossed my arms with satisfaction. Then Marilyn trotted across the street with a stool and helped me put on the rain fly, because the skies were turning dark and rain was coming. (It's a good thing she did; it poured.)
Flowers are blooming at Village Creek State Park. Pam LeBlanc photo
Texas marks state 12 of 48 for Harlow, who hit the road in October 2017 after selling her condo in Oregon.
"I had a beautiful condo and lived in wonderful neighborhood, but couldn't afford to do anything but pay for that condominium and live that day-to-day existence," she said. "Which wasn't bad, but I love to travel."
She bought a Teardrop trailer and a roof-top tent, and calls the set-up her two-bedroom apartment – she sleeps up top if it's nice, but if it's really cold she can bed down in the enclosed Teardrop.
"I simplified my life," she said. It feels good when everything is bought and paid for.
Marilyn's setup is similar to mine, and she gave me some tips before I tried to back up my rig. It worked! Pam LeBlanc photo
She was on her way to the local library, but promised to chat more when she returned. After I went for a hike around the piney park – part of the facilities are still closed due to storm damage two years ago, but should reopen this summer – I dropped by to say hi. She pulled up a chair for me and we talked about women and camping.
"I like being outside. I like eating outside, being, breathing, walking outdoors," she said. "It's especially nice when the sun shines."
Sometimes, though, women get the idea that they can't do it by themselves. That's wrong.
"My message is that women do not be afraid to be alone in the world. There's nothing that I've feared out here, and especially in campgrounds. I've never felt so safe in my life," she said.
She doesn't make reservations as she goes; she wants flexibility. She gets advice about where to stay from people she meets along the way.
Her next stop is Louisiana. After that, she says, she's turning left at Mississippi and heading north toward Wisconsin.
Early on in her adventure, people helped her when she needed it, and she did.
"I had a lot of different angels along the way," she says. "There's many things I didn't understand about leverage and leveling. They were there for me and showed me. I've learned over time that I can do it – It's learning that and getting past it, both mentally and physically. The confidence comes in doing It."
Yesterday, she was here for me.

Taking the 3-(wo)man canoe out for a spin
Heather Harrison, left, Sheila Reiter and Pam LeBlanc pose by their canoe before a training session on Lady Bird Lake on Sunday, Feb. 24.
My three-woman Texas Water Safari team chalked up a short training session this morning on Lady Bird Lake.
Besides the first spin in the actual canoe we'll put on the water at this year's race, a 260-mile jaunt from San Marcos to Seadrift on the Texas coast, it served as a chance to do some planning, lay out expectations and talk about how we'll handle stuff that goes wrong, because it invariably will.
The paddle itself felt great. I'm the least experienced member of the team. Both Sheila Reiter and Heather Harrison have logged multiple Safari finishes, but I just started paddling in the last year. I'm hoping my training as a swimmer will somehow come in handy when digging a paddle into a river for three days straight. So far the rhythm of paddling reminds me of the bilateral motion of swimming freestyle.
Highlights of today's spin? An aggressive swan that wanted a peek inside our canoe, turtles stacked on logs like dinner plates, bright sunshine and crisp air.
We single bladed, or used paddles with just one blade on each end. We'll do some double blading during the race, too, but that involves lots of splashing, and since it was 45 degrees when we started, we skipped that today. That didn't stop me from sloshing plenty of water on Reiter, who sits up front. (She yelled, I stifled laughs.) I sit in the middle and Harrison steers from the back seat.
My favorite thing about today's session came during the post-paddle debriefing, which involved talking about the horrors of past Safaris. My teammates described one long, terrible portage gone awry as "the worst day of my entire life." They also described boats flipping in the bay near the finish, core muscles that gave out, dry heaving and staggering around on the banks.
Just typical Safari stuff.
Our number one rule? Laugh – about the funny stuff, about the stuff that goes wrong, about everything.

Why I became a Junior Ranger at 44
Pam LeBlanc shows off her Junior Ranger patch in this 2008 photo taken by her husband Chris LeBlanc at Yellowstone National Park. She became a Junior Ranger at Grand Teton National Park.
A story about a 103-year-old woman sworn in as a Junior Ranger at Grand Canyon National Park recently caught my attention.
Most Junior Rangers fall between the ages of 5 and 13, according to the National Parks Service website, but people of all ages can participate.
I say go for it if you love the parks.
Ten years ago, when I was 44 years old, I was sworn in as a Junior Ranger at Grand Teton National Park. My husband chuckled as Ranger Fozzy asked me a series of questions, then bestowed upon me an official Junior Ranger patch.
Go ahead and laugh if you want, but I love the national parks, and believe that programs like this can help everyone better appreciate and protect what Mother Nature has given us. We have to take care of them, and by sharing our love of them, we let others know that they should care too.
Plus, I wanted that patch.
It all came back this week, when I read Good Morning America's short story about Rose Torphy, the 103-year-old who rolled her wheelchair into a park store during the government shutdown to claim her own Junior Ranger patch. She's older than the park itself, which celebrates its 100thbirthday this year.
Torphy has three children, 18 grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren. According to her daughter, she's been wearing her Junior Ranger pin proudly ever since – and telling those who ask her about it what it means.
The National Park Service's Junior Ranger program teaches participants to protect national parkland. Its motto is "explore, learn and protect."
Prospective junior rangers complete an activity book and promise to act as park stewards.
Way to go Torphy.

Banff Film Festival stops in Austin March 2-3
Forget the Oscars. Austin's outdoorsy set prefers the documentaries and short films of the Banff Film Festival.
The festival's on-the-road component stops at the Paramount Theatre in Austin on March 2 and 3. This year's lineup includes a gritty collection of films about skiing, climbing, mountain biking, running, mountain culture, exploration, fishing and the environment.
Proceeds from the event, hosted by Whole Earth Provision Co., will benefit Texas State Parks. The money will help fund day-to-day operational expenses, create park trail maps and enhance visitor programs.
If you've been to Banff Film Festival before, you probably remember that the two-day event once featured the more nature-oriented World Tour films one day and the adrenaline-pumped Radical Reels the next. Festival organizers have discontinued Radical Reels and will show two different World Tour programs. Each night will feature different films.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and films start at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and films start at 6 pm on Sunday. Tickets are $23.73 each night online. For more information or to purchase tickets go to https://www.wholeearthprovision.com/info/banff-mountain-film-festival#preview.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival began in Banff, Canada in 1976. A small number of the 400 or so films entered into the festival are chosen to tour the globe.
I just returned from Banff, where temperatures in mid-February sunk to minus 35 degrees Celsius. My face hurt, but that didn't take away from the sheer beauty of the place. (I'm guessing it won't be as cold here in Austin for the show.)
The Paramount Theatre is located at 713 Congress Avenue.
Poutine: Canadians do WHAT to their French fries?
The Chimney Corner Lounge at Sunshine Ski Resort serves poutine, a pile of French fries topped with cheese curds and hot gravy. (Their version includes short ribs, just to make sure it sticks to YOUR ribs.) Pam LeBlanc photo
Texans eat breakfast tacos and nachos, Canadians prefer poutine.
But if you're going to partake of the famous food, gird your loins. The dish, a favorite here in the land of sub-zero temperatures, snow-laden trees and incredibly beautiful mountain scenery, features French fries, cheese curd (read on) and hot gravy.
I ordered up dish of poutine last night with my burger at a great little hole-in-the-wall joint called Eddie's Burger Bar in downtown Banff. I could have made a meal out of just the poutine.
But, honestly, I'm still trying to figure out the "why" of poutine.
Why take a perfectly good pile of fries, toss them with a handful of lumpy, tiny-dumpling-shaped globs of cheese (that's the curd part), then suffocate them in dark brown gravy? It turns into a soggy mess.
I forgot to take a picture of last night's poutine, but when I stopped for lunch at Chimney Corners Lounge on the mountain at Sunshine Ski Resort today, the guys at the table next to mine had ordered up a gourmet version of poutine topped with short ribs. (I ordered an amazing Sunshine Salad, loaded with broccolini, portobello mushrooms, carrots, arugula and pickled onion.
They were filming the food with their professional video cameras, so I horned my way over and asked if I could take a shot myself. They filmed me, narrating that "the poutine has attracted visitors."
I'll stick to the breakfast tacos, thanks very much.

Intl. Notebook Aug 26 2020
We're on top of the world and the view is fine.
We're back online. Did you ever doubt us? Truth is, this was not a seamless move. Problems cropped up in almost every area. Internet acquisition was very tough. Our workload (again, we actually do have jobs) have piled up to dangerous levels. Travel problems linger, which is to say we haven't yet determined how to get the indispensable Pulp Intl. girlfriends here. And don't even bring up the health thing—one of us caught something before leaving, but had a negative virus test just days before traveling. Whatever that thing is has lingered, so hopefully there aren't a lot of false negatives with these nasal swabs they give you. We'll work it all out somehow. Advice: don't move during a pandemic, and especially don't do it during a dangerous surge in virus cases. But we had to. Just look at our new view. That's worth any amount of discomfort and inconvenience.
Spainintermission
Pulp Intl. takes a long day's journey into the night of Spain.
It's intermission time. But wait—didn't we just have an intermission? Indeed we did, but this next one can't be avoided, because we're moving. We mean physically, not online. This is going to be a long, tricky journey that delivers us to our new home—Cádiz, Spain, which you see above, and below, night and day. Once we arrive there we'll have to contend with getting internet set up. The provider (who we've only spoken to by phone) has been comically overconfident, but we're experienced in these matters, and we know—even if they don't—that they'll botch it somehow or other.
We're looking forward to this move. Cadiz is an intimate, active place, with an excellent nightlife and a world famous carnival, which we hope to enjoy if the killer virus is somehow vanquished. But even if that takes a long time or forever, Cadiz is still a nice city to walk around in, a visually inspiring place with numerous old buildings, a maze of streets, and at least a hundred outdoor terrace bars. This outdoor lifestyle is what attracted us—if the virus lingers and we can never go indoors again, we'll still be in good shape.
We know what you're thinking. Isn't undertaking a major move during a pandemic imprudent? Well, we're impulsive like that, and hope to pull it off without contracting anything. Assuming all goes according to plan, we'll be back online with new inspiration, new material, and—crucially—a new scanner to help us get back into the swing of posting old tabloids. Figure seven to ten days, end-to-end. Wish us luck. Meantime, we have some fun posts to help build the anticipation for our glorious return. Look below the photo.

Or how we took the opportunity to travel while it was there.
We're taking a break to wander a bit. We were debating it, in this age of virus, but three factors swayed us. First, we're going entirely by car rather than mass transit. Second reason is that virus cases will certainly rise from here onward, so we probably won't be able to travel as safely later. And the third reason is if we haven't seen nature, hills, and empty ocean when and if a second wave of the virus comes through, we probably won't survive a new quarantine. Well, that's an exaggeration. We'd survive. But we might kill our neighbors.
Anyway, this is our shot at travel, so we're taking an all-day road trip to a distant peninsula and theoretically we'll be back in a week. As usual, we've selected a few posts for first time visitors to glance at. They represent a small cross section of more than 5,600 posts in the website, which probably encompass more than 30,000 pieces of art, much it seen online for the first time here. Some good items reside here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Make yourself at home, but don't break anything.
Intl. Notebook Jun 2 2019
Pulp Intl. visits Paris as it springs into summer.
We're going to Paris for a bit. The trip is not due to our initiative. The Pulp Intl. girlfriends plan to intersect with friends passing through there, and we're going along partly to keep them company and partly to buy magazines and books. When the girls go to meet pals we generally stay home and take the opportunity to eat popcorn, hit the bars until sunrise, and churn out website material at an increased rate, but not when Paris is involved. As buying opportunities go, that's a city you can't pass up. So the website will be idle for a few days. Five or six, depending.
Second topic, you remember a technical glitch threw us offline a while back. Every time that happens we lose some functionality or other, and this time it was the ability to navigate to earlier pages using keywords or section headers. Savvy internet users know that it's possible to paste "?next=10" onto the end of the url and navigate backwards by changing the number—i.e. "?next=20," "?next=30," etc. So that's an option for those that want to bother.
But it's also a pain, and we know that. We will fix the navigation problem, hopefully soon. But of course, that will be a case of slapping duct tape on the most rickety old website left online. So, as we've been promising for years, a Pulp Intl. 2.0 is coming. It's 95% built, we swear. Whether that final 5% will take a week, a month, or years is not known at this point. We'll get there eventually. But right now we want to get to Paris. We'll be back soon.

Intl. Notebook Nov 1 2018
One decade down, another to go.
So today is Pulp Intl.'s anniversary, and a special one, as we've now been around ten full years. Yeah, it's crazy. When we began there were numerous blogs and websites that we admired and drew inspiration from, and all of them are gone or permanently idle now. A few new ones have popped up and we can only hope they last. Pulp Intl. came about because we had moved out of the U.S. and wanted something to eat up the idle hours we'd benefitted. Mostly we partied those hours away, but there were still a few left and Pulp duly sprang forth. We figured maybe ten or twenty people might drop by per week. Last we checked that number had reached more than 7,000 individual visitors per day, and in the summer it has been as many as 14,000. Per day. It's just shocking. So we definitely want to thank every one of you for dropping by, and particularly those who visit time and again, with a special shout to those who write in with corrections and ideas.
We've scanned and uploaded thousands of original images, and seen them reposted tens of thousands of times on Tumblr, Twitter, and various other platforms. We have more to come. We shot photos of some items we have laying around the flat, just to give you an idea. It's not a complete accounting. We have things we're too lazy to pull out of storage right now. In all, scanning and sharing this stuff should take ten more years. Of course, as some wit once pointed out, plans and life are two different things—often diametrically opposed. Anything could happen, up to and including losing everything in a fire or the Pulp Intl. girlfriends—who are real people, by the way, not some concept we came up with—finally getting fed up and threatening to leave or kill us if we don't shut down the website. But they'd never do that because they're the best. Heh heh. Anyway, thank you everyone for these ten years. It's been incredibly fun for us and we hope you've gotten a few laughs out of it, learned a few things, and had a love of vintage media instilled or just reaffirmed. And now—future here we come...

The projectionist has stepped out.
Yes, another intermission has arrived. We're off on a major trip this time, all the way to the U. S. of A. We'll try to take special advantage of pulp hunting opportunities, not only because the States are the birthplace of pulp, but also because we don't expect to ever be back there. You never know, but we've seen forty-seven states and logged tens of thousands of U.S. miles. We've been to Chicago eight times, Dallas five times, and Enid, Oklahoma twice. We feel we've done the country enough to last us. However it all shakes out, we'll load up as much material as we can during this opportunity, and of course the international mails and various pulp mules—aka visiting friends—will keep us well stocked. Take a look around Pulp Intl. We'll be back in a week.

It's break time for Pulp Intl. And for a couple of other people too.
Our girlfriends are restless again and you know what that means—it's break time. So the website goes on standby while we head to an island for five or six days. We'll see if we can find some pulp items, but we think it's unlikely. The backend site redesign we mentioned is ongoing, and we'll finish it after we return. By now we don't have to tell you of the many thousands of interesting posts in here, so have a look around while we're gone, and we'll see you soon.

It's the code that makes the site and we're swapping ours out.
If you've visited some of the older posts in Pulp Intl. recently you may have noticed that our headers on those old pieces, as well as on the history text in the sidebar, have partially or completely vanished. This only happens to Chrome users, and the reason is that Chrome has made some technical change that's knocking out the art files we use to create those headers. Pulp Intl. is pretty old now in digital terms, and the code we used to build the site is basically obsolete. That's why over the years bugs have cropped up, such as the Reader Pulp feature failing to work, and the e-mail page becoming non-functional. Each time a minor bug appears we fix it, but we always set aside repairing the major stuff until a more convenient time—which never arrives. Now though, losing the post headers means we have no choice but to do a total backend revamp. It will take some weeks, and we ask for your patience as we get it completed. In the meantime all the new posts (we're taking tomorrow off but we'll be back with new stuff Thursday) should behave normally.
Fireworks festival offers perfect opportunity for a little break.
We have three friends who have flown over from the U.S. to visit during our local fireworks festival and we're going to devote all our time to them for the next few days. After the money they paid to get here they deserve no less than 100% availability from us, especially since they're also our pulp mules, so it's time for another intermission. Here's something you probably don't know unless you have friends or relatives overseas: it costs more for round trip tickets out of than into the U.S. Why? We have a theory we won't bother to share, but just know that generally it costs us 70% of the price to fly to the U.S. as it costs our friends to come here. Actually, having spent time in a number of countries, we can tell you that Americans get gouged for a lot of things that are cheaper elsewhere in the world, yet of the exact same quality—cough! cough! healthcare! Airline tickets are just another of those many rip-offs. But we'll spend the next week trying to make our friends forget that, and the time will be punctuated by spectacular nightly pyrotechnics, which should help. Below you see a collection of links to some posts deep inside Pulp Intl. you might not normally find without a little nudge. Enjoy. Back online in a few days.

Pulp Intl. does a little island time.
The above image shows a Japanese intermission card, which we're posting because we've found a small window for a quick vacation. We're headed to a nearby island for a few days. No pulp to be had there, we're fairly sure, so it'll be pure relaxation with the girlfriends, and a projected return Wednesday with heads refreshed and new material ready to share. We have a lot of stuff in this website—actually three thousand six-hundred entries over more than eight years. Yeah. Even we can't believe it. If that doesn't make us the most extensive vintage art website on the internet we'd be very surprised. Have a look around. You'll like it. For longtime visitors, we're just on the verge of getting our shit together and fixing some pieces of the site that have bugged out over the years, such as the reader pulp feature, the e-mail link, and more. We'll get it done. Promise.

Home I was 46 years when I had my son
I was 46 years when I had my son
Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Wednesday, February 01, 2006 | 0 comments
I was 46 years and 11 months old when I had my son 22 months ago. It is possible. Good Luck!
FORT PAYNE, Ala. (May 26) - A 57-year-old great-grandmother who gave birth to a set of twins last month said Thursday she danced with her husband only hours after the delivery.
Christian Kaczur Hart and Diana Rose Angelina, conceived through in vitro fertilization, were born April 20 at UAB Hospital in Birmingham four weeks premature. Swain and her husband, Jay, brought the babies home to Fort Payne on Friday.
The couple, whose youngest child, Jimmy, is 6, said they did not want Jimmy to grow up as an only child, who was conceived naturally when she was 51! The twins were done via ART. They were on Good Morning America with the doctor (a woman) and she delivered them vaginally including the second baby who happened to be breach.
In 1998, an Indiana woman gave birth to twin girls, also at age 57. And last November, a woman in New York City gave birth to twins just days before her 57th birthday [through DE].
I was 46 when I conceived naturally after 1 1/2 years of trying. I am now the mother of a healthy 23 month old son who is the joy of my life, I would do it all over again in a heart beat. It takes a lot more out of you at this age but it is worth it and I tell everyone it keeps me young. As a side note I also have a 29, almost 30 year old son who loves his little brother!
I wanted to let you know that 33 years ago, my grandma had her 10th healthy child on her 44th birthday with no medical intervention!

Concierge Cinema
With all of his ideas and ideals working in focus, The Grand Budapest Hotel is Wes Anderson's finest work
By Colin Boyd
There is no magic number of films directors must make before their work comes into full focus. Orson Welles really only needed Citizen Kane. Quentin Tarantino had to make two movies to get there.
Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood didn't do his best and most representative work until he was in his 70s. Over the course of seven feature films, Wes Anderson has raised idiosyncrasy to something of an art form. His eighth film is the masterpiece they were all on their way to becoming.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is Anderson's finest work for a number of reasons, refinement chief among them. The ideas he's been forging since Rushmore (and perhaps even since the seemingly disconnected maiden voyage, Bottle Rocket) are all on display. He's worked on his tone, his character development, his dialogue and his unique visual sensibilities over the last decade and a half, but never all of them as completely or as in unison as here.
M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) is the concierge of concierges. He runs the Grand Budapest Hotel in Zubrowka, a European country caught between warring neighbors in what we would otherwise identify as early World War II. The hotel bustles with elite clientele and M. Gustave ensures all their wants and needs are taken care of, whipping his staff into an army of anonymous caretakers.
After the war, the reputation of the hotel slowly fades, and by the time a young writer (Jude Law) comes to visit in the late 1960s, it is a shell of its former self. But the writer is intrigued by the palatial hotel's history and strikes up a conversation with its owner, Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham), who reflects on those glory days of the 1930s when he came to work at the Grand Budapest.
Zero (played as a teenager by Tony Revolori) was a mere lobby boy, but he became Gustave's most trusted confidant. So when the concierge is arrested on suspicion of murder of one of the hotel's longtime guests—he allegedly seduced her to acquire a larger share of a massive estate in her will—Gustave has no one to turn to but Zero.
The lobby boy works feverishly to help his boss escape prison and those who concocted the scheme against him in the first place, turning the movie into an old-fashioned chase picture. The best sequence in the second half of the film involves Gustave and Zero sledding in hot pursuit of a mysterious heavy (Willem Dafoe) as he skis down a slalom course. The scene is deliriously sped up so the action is nearly impossible to follow.
It is delightful to see Ralph Fiennes play comedy so broadly. He has not always done heavy dramatic turns, although when you're most famous for portraying the worst Nazi imaginable, in Schindler's List, and Voldemort in Harry Potter, that might color the perception. But if you've seen In Bruges, you know he's capable of more than just the darkest recesses of humankind. It's not hyperbole to say a performance this good by an actor so highly revered, at a time of the year when it isn't expected, might help keep The Grand Budapest Hotel in awards discussions for another 10 months. Fiennes is utterly fantastic (and wildly, beautifully profane) in what will almost certainly be one of the most interesting offerings in 2014.
The film, of course, looks remarkable. Credit the production and art direction, and Anderson's longtime cinematographer, Robert Yeoman, for imbuing Grand Budapest with so much color and so many details. It often goes overlooked how central to the success of a film these technical achievements are, but with a picture like this, from a director who always presents a world that's slightly off-balance, they're absolutely essential.
About the only knock on this film is that it becomes a little too self-referential for a few minutes. It's mostly inconsequential, but there are some cameos the film would be better off without. It is fortunately a self-contained sequence (and it gives Anderson a chance to work in some of his regular contributors) but it's largely an unnecessary add-on.
The Grand Budapest Hotel confirms once and for all that Wes Anderson is a true cinematic artist, and there aren't too many of those. That might sound like hipster praise, but whatever. His over-the-top artificiality has become every bit his hallmark as cartoon violence has for Tarantino, but that's not what makes him an artist. For that, you have to look below or behind the suede elbow patches and characters feverishly scrawling handwritten notes.
Anderson creates wonderfully absurd playgrounds for his imagination, but when he's at his best, the stories are almost commonly human. In this instance, it also manages to be extremely funny. Strip away the highbrow touches and his unique style, and The Grand Budapest Hotel would still be a riot.

Spring Forward Sounds Good to Me!
Daylight Savings time makes me smile – a lot! I love the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. I am more productive and happier too when there's light outside! There's even time to spend on the New Albany walking trails when I get home from work. With the arrival of spring, I look forward to brighter skies and the reappearance of green grass and trees. It's like the light at the end of the tunnel. Life feels less overwhelming when the sun shines. Right now, we need all the feel goods we can come by. One thing I hear more and more people talk about is that as "bad" as it is, life goes on. It's time to focus on what matters most – Family, Friends, Faith, Health, Love, Career, Happiness, Helping Others.
One way Tony and I are trying to "help" is through the counseling we do in the community with people who find themselves in a situation where meeting their mortgage commitments has become difficult, if not impossible. Tony is one of the few Realtors in Columbus who has earned the "Certified Distressed Property Expert" designation. He has helped a number of people to avoid foreclosure. If you know anyone in this situation, please put them in touch with Tony for a confidential consultation.
Tony joins me in wishing you a springtime of happiness and sunshine!

Miami's on to Tua
Thread starter Bill Lee
Rotational Player and Threatening Starter's Job
My first reaction was surprised, which is what I've felt about Fitz's play.
This is definitely the perfect time though, if Tua is healthy.
To repeat: everyone knows they are going nowhere with Fitzpatrick. If Tua is real, Fitz has given the team a chance this year.
Ochmed Jones
First Tua is a talent and once he gets experience will be a monster.
but if tua gets hurts in the next couple weeks, as he is prone to do, they will need Fitzpatrick, despite all his turnovers.
BennyBledsoe
I have pretty close to zero faith in any quarterback from a major program like Alabama or USC. Especially first-rounders from those kinds of schools. They've played carefully selected schedules with some of the nation's top players on their side. Huge passing windows.
Tua specific concerns, unfortunately, has to be that hip. It is never going to be as good as it was and who knows if it did anything to remove the 'special' element from his quarterback game. If you get anything from him, it won't be a very big window, 3-5 seasons, I'd estimate. Of course, if that gets you to the promised land, it doesn't really matter.
But that's just my experience evaluating QBs (which doesn't have to mean anything to anybody but me). Honestly, these things I say are really just my opinions. If you find them interesting, I'm glad. If you don't, that's fine, too. I don't intend for anything I say here, at least, to be definitive.
PittPatriot
I've always liked Ryan Fitzpatrick.
He finally had a good coaching staff and was having one of his best seasons.
I'd love to have him as a backup on our team. He better than Hoyer and may have some things to teach Stidham.

The Dolphins are now .500, while the Jets remain the NFL's only winless team
www.cbssports.com
One of the INTs was the 'butt interception' and seems the MIA WR didn't track the ball very well:
INTs are a part of Fitzy's game. Gotta accept he's a risk taker. Cam had two less than glorious picks on Sunday. The price of doing business it seems. I personally doubt Tua will do better. I have no problem thinking Jeff Ross made the call.
Playing on below .500 teams your whole career out you in a position where you have to take risks...you aren't going to win many games as a manager. He gets into a lot of shoot outs (it seems).
He seems to play well against us.
Doesn't exactly sound like a good soldier about this.
Hey I'm up for a Hoyer-Fitz trade. Lol

I had been hearing the players were really rallying around Fitz. Probably just unexpected given the success the team has been having since the second half of last year and an expectation they go slow with Tua due to his hip.
He should have taken another day before talking to reporters to get his head right.
What, me worry?
Now we read:
"I wasn't comfortable calling plays," Tagovailoa said, per Adam H. Beasley of The Miami Herald. "I think the guys that were here last year were phenomenal. I just didn't have the comfortability of checking plays, alerting plays and doing that. I just rode with the play, even if I knew it wasn't going to work. I was going to try to make it work still."
"I didn't actually know the playbook necessarily really, really good, and that's no one else's fault but my fault," Tagovailoa said. "Our play calls were simple when I was in. I didn't have alerts and checks. Where now, I feel comfortable and I can maneuver my way through these things now."
Ref: Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa 'wasn't comfortable calling plays' during his rookie season
Maybe MIA decided to let him play and struggle just to show him how far behind the curve he was?
Seems a risky thing to do with a guy coming off a major injury.
I guess we'll find out soon if the strategy worked or not.

6-4-02 – It appears there will be summer this year after all. Our cool days and nights have given way to eighty-degree temperatures, so perhaps it's time to start gardening. Perhaps it's time to start writing about gardening as well. Rather than the same old renewal-of-the-Earth, May/June drivel, it struck me there is a topic I've never written about: tools.
What's so infuriating about acquiring patience as a gardener is that it takes so long. Still, the day comes when the seasons seem to have gone by in a flash. It's just like having a child. One minute you're changing diapers, and the next you're being hit up for twenty bucks. Gardening is the same; one minute you don't see how you'll ever acquire enough perennials, and the next you're tossing perfectly good plants in the compost bin.
Some spring you'll be taking the cover off the barbecue and notice the scrawny, knee-high shrubs you planted to add privacy to your patio have become a dense, towering wall. Trees that were purchased as meager sticks rise and spread to where they grant cool shade to a back yard hammock. There is nothing we can do to speed this process. Patience is our ticket to enjoying the journey.
Tackling too much in one season is the sure road to burnout. Remember, a garden is never finished. Pace yourself this summer so that each time you step outside to garden, you're anxious to do so. Some elements of gardening involve hard work and heavy lifting. There is great difference between aching to go, and aching from.
It's what gardening is all about, isn't it? We do many things in the garden because we're curious to find the answers to some of life's most important questions.
How will this plant look if I move it over there? Where is the best spot for a new garden bench? What on Earth ate all the hosta? When will this lousy shrub ever bloom? Why did every single one of these die? Never stop asking questions. Gardening is a big, cuddly science experiment, with art, history, philosophy, and phys ed tossed in. Only unbounded curiosity leads to amazing discoveries.
I include this tangible tool because, face facts, you need one. The trunk of the Audi works fine when all you're hauling are a few flats of pansies, but the day soon comes when you've invested in ten, six-foot Techny arborvitaes. Now what do you do? They weigh about three hundred and fifty pounds apiece.
SUVs don't cut it, either. Friends, I don't care how big a tarp you lay down, you're only going to get away with hauling dirt back there once before your spouse goes through the roof. It's not worth it. Buy a pickup. And don't buy one of those little namby-pamby mid-size pickups, either. You'll realize your mistake the first time you watch a grinning bobcat driver drop a half-ton of sand into its bed from about six feet up.


How is the Guaranteed Future Value calculated?
Hyundai Finance will set the Guaranteed Future Value based on an estimate of what the car will be worth at the end of the finance contract. A number of factors go into the calculation: sales results of similar cars, new model data and economic factors. Your finance contract and set kilometres are also used to calculate the final figure. The Guaranteed Future Value will be recalculated if you do not meet the GFV terms.
Is the value guaranteed no matter what?
3. You adhere to the fair wear and tear conditions. For full details of what is fair wear and tear, there is a separate Fair Wear and Tear brochure which you must read before you agree to the Guaranteed Future Value option in your finance contract.
There are a number of options available. You can either have it fixed to meet the Fair Wear and Tear conditions. Or we will reduce the Guaranteed Future Value by the estimated cost of damage. In this case you will need to make an equivalent payment to finalise your finance contract. If you decide to keep the car, the condition doesn't matter. However, you must pay all amounts owing to us under your finance contract or refinance the amount due subject to meeting our credit criteria.
Can I trade my car in before the end of my agreed term?
Yes. You can trade it in at any time for a new car, however you will need to pay all amounts owing under your finance contract. If you terminate your finance contract early you will not have the benefit of the Guaranteed Future Value.
Yes. You simply pay out all amounts owing under your finance contract at the end of the term. Or you may choose to refinance the final payment. Any refinance will be subject to our standard credit criteria. If you keep the car, the Guaranteed Future Value does not apply.
Yes. You will need to pay all amounts owing under your finance contract.
What if I travel extra kilometres?
If you travel past the set kilometres, an excess usage adjustment will apply. Your Guaranteed Future Value will be adjusted by this amount if you choose to return the car. In this case you will need to make an equivalent payment to finalise your finance contract.
Hyundai Guaranteed Future Value is competitively priced. Speak with your Hyundai dealer who can provide you with an overview of all finance options available. We suggest you talk to your accountant or financial adviser to ensure this product is suitable for your needs. If you terminate your finance contract early you will not have the benefit of the Guaranteed Future Value.

Midleton 1973 Master Distiller's Private Collection 30 Year Old
A very very rare bottling of Midelton distilled in 1973 at the original Old Midleton Distillery and bottled 30 years later.
The Old Midleton distillery was established by the Murphy brothers in 1825, having converted an old woolden mill originally built by Marcus Lynch on land granted to him by the Viscount Midleton. The Cork Distilleries group was formed in 1867, with Midleton joining the following year, and over the next century, it was the last in the company still active. Cork Distilleries has been the product of a market downturn caused by various political, social and economic factors, and just shot of 100 years later, a similar melting pot of problems was boiling over. The result was that Ireland remaining three companies, Cork Distilleries, Powers and Jameson, all joined forces to become the Irish Distillers group. Their distilleries were closed down over the next decade, with all operations moved to a New Midleton distillery, which opened in 1975. Old Midleton is now the home of a Jameson visitor experience, and whiskey distilled there in its time is increasingly valuable.
In 1973, Max Crockett Master Distiller of the Old Midleton Distillery selected a number of his finest whiskey casks to form part of his private collection. The whiskey was released in 2003 by his son Barry Crockett who was the then Master Distiller at the New Midleton Distillery. 30 years of aging in three casks types imparted the essential hallmark of a very old whiskey – complexity and fullness of taste. This particular complexity comes from the marriage of pot still whiskeys aged in bourbon barrels, sherry butts and port pipes.
Nose: Rich Iberian stone fruits topped with sweet heathered honey, lead to the spicier pot still notes and a touch of old leather.
Taste: The distinctive and unique character of Old Midleton Pot Still is unmistakeable in this venerable old Irish Whiskey. Extremely oily with layers of spices, rich ripe fruit, heather honey and sweet butterscotch toffee. This evolves overtime to reveal the rich tannins and wood spices that all come together to create this wonderfully full bodied and flavoursome whiskey.
Finish: The rich old Midleton pot still lingers rounded with the wood spices that seem to last forever.
